Summary
Registered Nurses are a key member of the multi-disciplinary team that collaborates together to provide patient-centered care. Within the Nursing Department, RNs coordinate, direct, delegate, and provide care to multiple patients. Using a patient and family-centered care approach, each RN develops relationships with patients, families, and colleagues that enhance the quality of care provided. Nursing care is performed with compassion and courtesy, and each RN is responsible for following departmental policies and service standards. Patient and family education is a primary focus of rehabilitation nursing and is a critical aspect of the interdisciplinary team's efforts to assist patients to gain independence, apply adaptation strategies, and return home.
Clinicians hired into the Float Pool will be scheduled to work their designated FTE. They should expect to rotate among inpatient units to support nursing care across the campus based on organizational needs and validated competencies. While Float Pool RNs will be assigned a home unit for leader, finance, and payroll purposes, they will not have a home unit for scheduling and will instead be deployed across all applicable clinical areas. Float pool nurses will receive 10% (ten) increase above their base rate.
